It was *definitely* not the default in F25.

Or maybe some lucky stray radiation flipping exactly the right bit ;) There's the off-chance that at some point rawhide defaulted to fingers a few years back when this was added. But that requires more digging time than I'm willing to spend on this right now, sorry. Bastien or Carlos may know. Just as another piece of information in case you need it: the clickfinger behaviour on the other hand is the libinput default for some touchpads like the apple ones. so some users would've seen clickfinger behaviour on their touchpads even with gnome being on 'default'. Those users too aren't affected by this change because either they accepted the default behaviour or manually switched to 'areas' in the past.
